Have you a story to tell about the laneways? 

Or suggestions on how they can be improved?

Browse our StoryMaps above which visualise what residents of Ballina told us during our first workshops. Then share your stories, thoughts and ideas here or send an email to [email protected].

Some questions to consider

1. Do you have an idea on what could go into this laneway and why would it make the space better? Is there a particular laneway it would work in?

2. Do you have any ideas on how the laneways could be made more water / climate resilient? 

3. What positive changes would be made by implementing this idea?

4. Who in the community could help make this idea happen?
